Filmmaker Atul Agnihotri says working with superstar Salman Khan on their upcoming film "Bharat" is both overwhelming and stressful as there are high expectations.

Atul worked with Salman in his directorial debut "Dil Ne Jise Apna Kahaa" (2004) and produced 2011 hit "Bodyguard". The two are now looking forward to the release of their much-awaited movie "Bharat".

"Having a superstar like him (Salman) you are both relieved and worried. With him comes the responsibility as well. There are huge challenges and expectations from his films.

"He has so much love, adulation and support from everyone. He has such a big fan base. With 'Bharat' we are consciously catering to his fans. He is iconic in many ways. He has larger than life persona and people like that. We have to keep this in mind while work
"In this film we have added flavours like drama, emotion, conflict, song-dance, action, etc through the character Bharat."
